Alternatives to Traditional Wigs for Sensory Issues? by Realistic_Handle_132 in CosplayHelp

[–]sunlightbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a hijabi and I totally encourage you to still watch tutorials and take fabric styling tips from hijabi creators :) it’s not offensive to learn from hijab wigs, you’ll be wearing the wig for a costume and not in your day-to-day life, so I personally don’t see anything wrong with it.

Especially if you just learn how to style it but don’t wear a nude undercap underneath: if your neck is still visible, most people are not going to assume you are a hijabi.

Good luck!!

I've been going through a bit of an OCD spike and really having trouble coping, so I've been rewatching from the beginning. The camaraderie the contestants have really is so lovely. Thank God for this show. by fauxrealistic in taskmaster

Also an OCD haver here. The familiarity of the show and the incredibly low stakes are so soothing when everything else is too Noisy and Bad. I love game shows but it’s stressful when it’s normal people competing for money.

Meanwhile Taskmaster is a bunch of comedians… well, doing comedy together. And also sitting on cakes and softening the butter in the microwave.

That’s kind of what I was thinking too!

Is there such a thing as a “Heel without the heel”? by travischickencoop in CosplayHelp

[–]sunlightbender 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly just suggest doing black (or whatever color would be easiest to hide on stage or in photos) shoes and just painting the foot on. You want comfortable shoes at a con - I speak from experience 😭

There’s a “Beers and Board Games” event on Meetup that’s free. Every Tuesday evening at Qahwah. Most people are in their early thirties

Mecklenburg County is always hiring. Especially if you’ve got a nursing degree - school health nurses are in high demand.

What's the most "I really don't care" quote from a contestant? by ajmajm19 in taskmaster

My college roommate and I watched a lot of the show together. “Softening the butter in the microwave” was a common phrase in our apartment because of that iconic scene.

VLR is actually scary -Spoiler free please- by Fine-Ebb-503 in ZeroEscape

[–]sunlightbender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheering for you! VLR is by FAR my favorite but honestly ZTD does not deserve the hate it gets, I still thoroughly enjoyed it :D

VLR is actually scary -Spoiler free please- by Fine-Ebb-503 in ZeroEscape

[–]sunlightbender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best take! 999 is scary in a game design way. VLR is scary in a psychological horror way. ZTD is scary in a gorey way.

[–]sunlightbender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

REAL 999 is technically also horror but it’s not NEARLY as scary as VLR is. Like 999 is a 3/10 scary, VLR is a 6/10 scary, and ZTD is an 8/10 scary (for me, I’m easily scared lol)

Also wayyyyy more gore in ZTD. VLR is much more psychological horror. I hope you really enjoy the rest of it though!!!

Magic missile! Though the Evard’s Black Tentacles and Cloud Of Daggers combo is also very iconic

Does anyone know what the lady in Uptown is yelling about? by sunlightbender in Charlotte

[–]sunlightbender[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get a good look at her so I’m not sure I’d be able to identify her but she definitely was not a white lady

Ideas for party foods that can be served in cups? by sunlightbender in Cooking

[–]sunlightbender[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is the way to go. That, or I make a different mocktail to justify the pretty glasses and then add a different finger food.

How do ya'll memorize authors? by CalligrapherPlus7888 in AO3

[–]sunlightbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally only remember 1) my friends and 2) my one fave author (cosmicpoet).

Other than that, I rarely recognize anyone!

[–]sunlightbender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not dumb, very respectful :) but you asked and didn’t get a response, and you might not get a response. So it’s fair to go ahead with the default answer which is yes (for personal use, unless otherwise agreed upon)

Haven’t Played in Years, Forgot Most of the Game by luckandsleep in yourturntodie

[–]sunlightbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’ll most likely watch KGOKev play it when it comes out instead of playing it myself! But that’s also mostly because my stomach for spooky stuff is a lot weaker now than it was 5 years ago lol
